Dear Madam or Sir,
I recently got my /Québec Pension Plan/ PDF documents from their
secure /My Account/ WEB site.
/Evince/, both versions 3.18.2 (32 bit) and 3.36.10 (64 bit) open the
documents. *Neither displayed any of the data!* On the other hand none
of the following had any trouble.
* /Adobe Read 9/ (32 bit),
* /flpsed/ 0.7.3 (32 bit),
* /MuPDF/ (32 bit), and
* /Libre Office Draw/ 5.1.6.2 (32 bit).
That being said when I added a password to one of the documents, so I
could send it by eMail;
* Evince, as usual,
o asked for the password,
o accepted the pasting of the password and
o then opened the document *without any of the data*,
* Adobe Read 9
o insisted that I type in the the password
o but wouldn't accept it because it has punctuation in it.
As Adobe has *not* supported Linux since 2010 and Evince has become
the flagship PDF reader for Linux, I think it behoves the Evince
developers to keep up with and implement the features of the most
recent version of Adobe Read. If this does not happen Linux users will
be forced either to go back to Windows or Mac so as not to be
relegated to the backwaters of the computing world.
Annoying as it is when something doesn't work anymore, I'm not sure
pandering to the PDF makers is a good thing either. Not a format I
would miss if it disappeared.
